| 344279 | 2005-04-12 23:53:00 | I'm trying to find a URL from an old thread brefore the latest Forums came into effect. I do a search with a word that was definitly in the title, but come up with no results. Anyone know how to find old threads? Or have they been deleted from the database? (which I don't think is the case because I've seen some really old ones resurrected). |

| 344281 | 2005-04-13 00:09:00 | Anyone know how to find old threads? Within the User CP, under Edit Options there is a Default Thread Age Cut Off (pressf1.co.nz). Adjust this to 'Show all threads' and you should be able to search all threads. |

| 344282 | 2005-04-13 00:22:00 | Thanks guys... found it. I forgot that I set my Default Thread Cutoff to 1 month. Metla's idea woulda worked to... I should have thought of that. Cheerz. |

| 344284 | 2005-04-13 01:07:00 | :help: Hi - excuse this as I am trying to find a way to post a query - I am new to this and so far can only find means of a "reply" such as this first try? Will look under this heading to see if I have reached a help line. Thanks. | Kaygee (7876) | ||
| 344285 | 2005-04-13 01:36:00 | Welcome to PressF1, Kaygee. If you look just above the "Threads in Forum" heading line for the appropriate forum (on the left hand side) you will see a "New Thread" button. That's the one to use. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 344286 | 2005-04-13 04:35:00 | Within the User CP, under Edit Options there is a Default Thread Age Cut Off (pressf1.co.nz). Adjust this to 'Show all threads' and you should be able to search all threads. Doesn't work for me Sal. I chose a technical word that definitely appears in an FAQ I wrote and it gets no hits. :confused: In fact, I have never been able to search back at all, not like I could in the old forum format. I almost always get zero hits. I asked this once before but didn't get a reply: Can we use the usual search terms and refinements as for google type searches, i.e. "..." + - etc? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 344287 | 2005-04-13 04:44:00 | Billy T, If you want to search for something in the FAQ's I think you need to use the search function that you see when you click on the FAQ button above. I'm just guessing on this one... |

| 344288 | 2005-04-13 06:47:00 | I chose a technical word that definitely appears in an FAQ I wrote and it gets no hits.An easy way of getting all the FAQ's in one hit is to use the advanced search (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) and put in faq for key words and then below that select with the drop down arrow search titles only. Just leave all the other options on their default settings. And yes, google can be quite helpful when searching the PF1 archives. Just enter in your keywords plus pressf1 with site:nz and you should find it :D |
